Radiesse, first called Radiance, received FDA clearance for the soft tissue of the vocal cords and for urinary incontinence originally. It is derived from calcium hydroxyl appetite, a component of bone. Many patients have reported lumps, bumps, migration and deformities with this product.
There are discount spas that offer it for as little as $400 and we see it upwards of $1000 in some areas. The cost of Radiesse has definitely decreased over the last few years. On average, Radiesse costs $600-$800 in most areas in experienced hands. Also keep in mind that Radiesse offers 50% more filler than Juvederm or Restylane and as it wears off, part of it gets replaced by collagen making Radiesse a good value.
